Inhalt

This course aims to introduce students to basic elements of pronunciation and intonation from both a theoretical and practical point of view, starting out with ‘articulatory phonetics’ (i.e. manner and place of articulation) and then progressing to aspects of ‘connected speech’ (assimilation, elision and weak forms), and also to provide practice at improving students’ own pronunciation competence. The pronunciation model used in the course is standard British English. However, students are free to take any comprehensible, standard native speaking variant as their own model.

Inhaltliche Voraussetzungen

-

Ziel

By the end of the course students will be able to explain and exemplify basic terminology, to transcribe, at word and sentence level, using the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), so that they are prepared for future linguistic seminars and can thus successfully speak, read and write about the properties of sounds in an academic context. Students will also be able to demonstrate an acceptable standard of English pronunciation (C1), with emphasis on aspects covered during the course.

Inhalt

This course is designed to give students guidance and practice in improving their presentation skills, thereby enabling them to communicate better in their future profession. It will cover a range of presentation formats and end with an extemporaneous talk that will serve as a trial run for the presentation task during the Fachprüfung Sprachbeherrschung.

Inhaltliche Voraussetzungen

B2+ in addressing audiences. Can give a clear, systematically developed presentation, with highlighting of significant points and relevant supporting detail. Can depart spontaneously from a prepared text and follow up interesting points raised by members of the audience, often showing remarkable fluency and ease of expression.

Ziel

C1 in addressing audiences. Can give a clear, well-structured presentation of a complex subject, expanding and supporting points of view at some length with subsidiary points and relevant examples. Can handle interjections well, responding spontaneously and almost effortlessly.
